Influences of Capsule on Cell Shape and Chain Formation of Wild-Type and pcsB Mutants of Serotype 2 Streptococcus pneumoniae

PcsB is a protein of unknown function that plays a critical role in cell division in Streptococcus pneumoniae and other ovococcus species of Streptococcus. We constructed isogenic sets of mutants expressing different amounts of PcsB in laboratory strain R6 and virulent serotype 2 strain D39 to evalu...
